Answer 1

You can just print a dictionary directly without embedding it into a string:

let dict = ["foo": "bar", "answer": "42"]

println(dict)
// [foo: bar, answer: 42]

Or you can embed it in a string like this:

let dict = ["foo": "bar", "answer": "42"]

println("dict has \(dict.count) items: \(dict)")
  // dict has 2 items: [foo: bar, answer: 42]
